Great job Evan! Turning junk into lunch money……now that’s a pretty good deal!
I always like to watch you cut trees down. And love to watch you cut wood also.
The fence line is looking better every day and that tree puller is worth its weight and it pulls trees and roots in one piece.
Regarding your pine tree windbreak- plant a line of those first but then plant a line of spruce behind. Pines will grow faster for the initial windbreak, but eventually they’ll get bigger and the bottom limbs will fall off, whereas the spruce will grow slower but the bottom limbs won’t fall off.
Experience taught me too much maintenance with Pine trees & far too many pine cones do battel with lawn mower blades.
Pines are shallow rooted. High winds knocked down many in my town. Nor do I like pine needles.
Any conifer gets loose wood of little usefulness if they get too much light and nutrition. It would be a shame not to use that exceptional climate to produce weird and wonderful leafy trees.
When we lived in central Illinois across the front of our property was a wooden fence and i removed it and planted blue Spruce trees at 10 feet apart. I can look at them now on Google maps and there is no way seeing through them to see the house. I had 2 driveways and I put them on that side as well. Then a few years later I started up 10 feet away from my neighbor's fence and went back a good distance to the garden. I feed them Miracle-Gro once a week during the spring and summer. It turned out to be a great idea since the farmers field was turned into a subdivision.
You might want to manufacture a guard on that tree puller on the tractor
Pine trees are lighting rods! They shead needles one year and pine cones the other year. There is only limbs in the top 1/3 of the tree & it sheads limbs. Its a lumber tree. I had 20 pine trees on my house yard and always had bonfire going from the needles or pine cones
That tree puller is a great piece of equipment to have. Thanks for the video. All the best 🇬🇧.
It is so nice to have good equipment and the right tool for the right job. It makes life so much easier. Great job
When I first bought my house, the house property was carved out of a Pine Tree Forest. I had to remove 30 more Pine Trees by hand and sure could have used that Implement on your Tractor and that Chipper..... I split the Trees by hand and found myself with six cords of firewood. Took me two years. Two of my first years in Retirement.. Great for the arms and shoulders.. Lols.... For the Stumps which I cut as close to the Ground as I could, I drilled a 2 inch wide and 8 inch deep Hole in them filled them with Gasoline and burned them out...
That looks satisfying, a way to get work done and enjoy it...😀😃😄😁😆🙂🙃😉😊 btim sw pa
Love watching you clear the fence line. Very satisfying. 🎉
Great update thanks 👍
17:50 flat right rear tire on the Saturn....
The saturn hasn't been driven in over a year. The transmission control module isn't working. It just needs sold or scrapped.
Evan, I hope you, Rebecca, all the animals, and the homestead have been safe with the storm I have been hearing about.
11:20 Chain that close to the ground made my heart skip a beat. You must have much less gravel in your soil that we do ;)
Our soil is clay and doesn't really have any rocks.
@@CountryViewAcres Nice! I'm jealous.
Great video Evan I'm in my seventies and have gotten everything right first time.Oh hold on that was a dream i had once 😁
Great video as always hope you are all doing well and god bless you and your family and your friends mate.
It looks so much better ! You did a great job as always ! Keep them coming, Love to watch your videos. I LOVE YOU GUYS !!! 🥰🥰
Have tried putting the chipper perpendicular to the back of the trailer so you can capture more chips? Might not work in every situation but looks like you have room to set up a nice workflow.
Yes, I was trying to drive them beside each other as I worked down the fence row. But it doesn't work very well from the side.
@@CountryViewAcresI would have been reversing the chipper up to the back of the trailer with the wind blowing into the trailer. Everything should then with the wind, you should always try to go with the wind blowing into your trailer keeping the chips from covering everything anything blowing out goes to ground giving that ground a small amount of mulch.
@@CountryViewAcres I’m in the market for a PTO powered chipper like the one you have. What’s the largest diameter branch/trunk have you attempted on that model?
That tree puller is just about the best thing I have seen for getting the smaller trees out of the way, and the chipper did a fine job of making mulch for y'all to use.. Thanks for taking us along on this project. Your homestead is looking mighty fine. Have a Blessed day.
I think the Grapple and the Tree Puller are my two most favorite toys (I mean, tools) that you use on the farm. Looks so fun watching you operate them. Those TYM tractors are also awesome. Good idea on the pine trees for a wind break (and partial shade for the cattle). Love your channel. I never miss a video. God bless
You sure make good use of both tractors love the tree puller , sure saves the back
You are doing a fantastic job in cleaning your fence line. Your fields are clean and clear. You can look across it to see what’s at the back. Once you get more animals, they are going to love especially with the grass. I know Rebekah is loving the look of everything. I know she is proud of you. I love watching you doing your projects. Others should be inspired by you. Homesteading work is continuing and once you get it the way you want. It won’t be as time consuming as it was at first. Thanks for sharing. I love to watch you work.. Bye for now in Alabama ❤
Clearing fence row is a lot of work, very tiring, but the end result of beautifying & gaining a great view makes it all worth it. Have done this several times with satisfying results. In 1970 checked with county extension office & soil & water. Planted nearly 2,000 White Pine, Austrian Pine, Scotch Pine & Northern Spruce for wind break. Would not follow their guide line again. Since late 1980's have transplanted volunteer Cedar Trees, propagated by the birds. These are little to no maintenance with a vertical tap root. They are hardy, draught tolerant & more dense for slowing the wind. They are fragrant & birds nest in them, which means less insects survive. btw no matter what you plant, do so with enough room for them to grow . Too many people plant 6' apart & they eventually rub & destroy each other. When it is all "said & done", why replant at age 60 ?
a lot of people are credits to what other people,but if u never try something,u never learn of find out,i have learn from mistake`s other people have made and i hope have learn from my mistakes i have made
Looking good Evan, getting closer to fencing time. Looking forward to that too, you folks do such a great job fencing too. Thanks for sharing with us. Fred.
you are doing an excellent job of clearing the old bush. It is one of the most thankless jobs on the farm but well worth the time.
I have been doing the same. My fences have been down since 2005 when Hurricane Rita came through. We are planning to refence our 5 acres, It is a lot of work, but well worth it. I have a wood chipper similar to yours and I bought a brush saw that is like a big weed eater, for less bending over to cut the brush close to the ground.
💝 that is a good way to remove the old fence roll. You are doing a good job and won't have that task to do again for many years.. Enjoy the videos all the time...💝
man! tree pulling looks more satisfying than backing over a multiflora rose bush with a brush hog. I didn't think anything could beat watching those things disappear, but this is right up there.
Hi..... Evan, thanks you for showing your video homestead bye
It was such a great idea of putting a dump cart to work
Then if you put that wood chipper in the back of the trailer where it's opened and you wouldn't blowing over the side since the sides are short
Wow Evan, that tree puller sure is a time saver! The TYM is the perfect tractor for that too. The farmstead is looking the best it ever has. I have been watching since day one and I am amazed at how poorly kept this place was before you and Rebecca tackled it. Junk, overgrowth etc. you have a place that most of us envy. Nice job! Thanks for sharing (and doing all the hard work!). You two are a great team. Keep it up!
The sad thing is, there are still washers and dryers, hog feeders, etc in the woods. That someday we will drag out and scrap. The job never ends.
@@CountryViewAcreshow many years was it neglected before you bought it?
@@cathiwim it is hard saying. It was abandoned for about 5 years. And probably neglected for the 20 to 30 years before that.
Great job taking those trees out.
Tractors make light work 😊
I like the safety precautions you always use. Switch sides with thgat chipper or place a large cloth on the end of the shoot that will direct the chips down.
Perfect is not usually an attainable destination but learning from the progress and trial is very valuable. You consistently accumulate valuable information and it appears you work hard not to repeat those educational events! That's progress.
I Love that tree puller!
Your farm is looking incredible Good job Evan and love the little new additions Rebecca . have great week
Good job , place is looking great. Sorry you have a flat on the RS rear of the silver car!
I'm glad you shake the dirt off the trees when you pull up the trees. It does two things help fill the hole the tree roots left and you keep your top soil in place.
Our arborist suggested we plant cypress trees along our driveway for a wind break.
yes,time change,good thing
Evan your buddy Bobby tree puller is a splendid piece of kit I was impressed by it.
looken alot better!
put the chips in the mucky part of old Barn pen
Wow, Evan! What a video. I could watch you pull up trees all day long. Excellent plan. Hopefully you will video the brush pile burn.
That tree puller is one of the best things since sliced bread. That and the grapel are both great.
I appreciate it!
Hands down one of my favorite attachments!
Hi evin, you do a good job on your farm
Good job
Thanks Hank!
like the way the tree puller works. I did not know they made such a thing.
Hey Evvan, regarding the manure fork for your tractor, you could weld about 3 or 4- inch pieces of half inch steel rods(sharpened)to the tips of the fingers . Like finger nails 😅
Hi,Ed from Vermont
Enjoyed your video Evan nice job. You have a great day.
I sure wish I had one of those tree pullers. We pulled a couple acres of locust sprouts using a grubbed and front end loader but there’s a patch with hundreds of them that would be so much faster with a real puller. Even better if track mounted to prevent flat tires!
Looks really good! Thanks !
Evan, if you raise the sides or install a hoop with a tarp cover on your dump wagon, and then shot the chips from the back end, you will not lose any chips in the wind. With the cover will also allow you the store the chips long in the wagon and maybe use them for other purposes. Just an idea for the future. Thanks for all your videos. You are living the life of my dreams.
Thank you for sharing.
Electric Sawa are awesome when using a chipper!
I would advise that you saw a couple sections of firewood off the bigger trees. When you figure out the cost of sharpening the teeth on your chipper, you will realize that is the better choice.
No stump left, this implement is pure madness! I would have great use for it back home.
Look very nice a lot of work
Maybe you should ask Santa for a tree puller. 🤣 I think Rebekah enjoyed using it on the other video.
I can understand you not liking the hole in your pasture. Like you said tho, live and learn. You're doin' and you're livn'. 👍👍👍
Thanks Evan. Nice job.
As far as choosing the right tool for the job, you’ve totally nailed that 👌👍
Great video as usual.
That tree puller is a great tool
That’s life if you don’t try things you never learn
👍 nice to leave some trees from every generation / age for continuous growth
outstanding job sir
Great Video , love that tree puller...😊
That tree puller is sweet! Hope you got the pole saw operating the way it should.
The pole saw worked fine. Not sure what was going on with it before.
Ya need to try and grow your channel from what you have. At the end of each segment you should suggest that they "subscribe, share" and hit that "like" button at the bottom if they enjoy it. Tell them it doesn't cost them anything and it helps grow the channel. Then every so often suggest they look at the Merch for maybe something. Just thought I would suggest this. I enjoy watching..........
Looks beautiful! Lot of hard work!
I believe that you could build a tree puller with no problems
Could you give an update on your Chestnut trees?
I have several nuts in the refrigerator that need put into pots. I plan replace several trees this year. So I will have to go out and inspect the trees sometime
You have a flat passenger side, rear tire, but I'm sure you know about that by now.
How did the pole saw work or did you use a different one then the one that you had problems with.
The fence line is looking good.
The pole saw worked flawlessly. But a couple weeks ago it work with certain batteries. But it worked on every battery this time. Not sure what the deal was.
Bring the chips to me in Indy 😉
Evan, I think it would work better if you position the wood chpper in the back of the dump cart, and shoot the chipps straight into the cart instead of over side. Just my two cents😃
another great video!
Nice job
You get a lot of high winds in spring especially and you can't fight it. You just have to figure out how to work with it. I dump a lot of yard leaf litter and spread it out with a leaf blower. I can't blow it against the wind.
got a flat on the car back there
I enjoyed this video, and I wish I had a tree puller or someone had one I could use for a while. I do have a chipper that I used, but it looked so cool pulling those trees. Donald
A really good days work, well done.
Evan, that is a lot of work. Appreciate you sharing your work on the fence line. Have a great rest of your week.
Looks like you could use a little air in the right rear tire of your car! LOL
Another entertaining video Evan
Oh boy do I have a job for that puller. That is a great piece of equipment. Does 2 jobs at ones no stump to worry about. Come do my property use to be old Christmas tree farm with ton of trees that went wild.
Did you ever figure out the battery pole saw? I am curious what kept it from working, mine is doing well at the moment, thanks, you always have some great information.
Nice one Evan were I live theres a few people doing scrap metal
I like what you're doing with the old fence line, good job. I think like you, just cleaning out those areas that have overgrown brush and scrap small trees looks so much better. Thanks Evan, have a good evening!
Said and done :)
Who makes the tree puller and where can I get one. Mywife loves it.
Leave a 3 ft stump for leverage to push over or use your backhoe
Did you figure out the problem with your pole saw?
